I'm curious because my dog apparently has allergies.
I've taken him in to see the vet a few times already because he was scratching his ears, and licking his paws like crazy after we come in from walks.
She told me to put him on Benadryl and ear drops for two weeks (she thinks it could be snow mold allergies). It's been three now, and he doesn't seem better. The only change I've noticed in him is that he sleeps a lot more because the Benadryl makes him drowsy...
These vet visits/treatments don't seem to be helping him and the costs are getting up there. The vet even suggested that his paw licking might be self-soothing to deal with the loss of his bunny-buddy, but I dunno....
I was just wondering how common this is and you guys handle your pet's allergies...
